Alice in Wonderland
I’m reading the book, “Alice Cooper, Golf Monster.” In it, Alice Cooper describes the genesis of the act named Alice Cooper. His “plan” is a great guideline to use for creating humor into your day.
The band wanted to be as different from the peacenik movement as they could. That was their only goal.
1. Go for a direction, rather than a goal.
2. If there are no clear-cut guidelines, you can wing it. Where should the band move to next? Their manager suggested, “How about the first city that gives you a standing ovation.” So that’s how Alice Cooper returned to his roots in Detroit.
3. Be open to everything. When an audience member threw a plastic dummy onstage and then an enraged fan stormed the stage, Alice had to think quick. “Kill it!” he commanded the fan. The crowd went wild.
Being in the flow is what Alice Cooper was all about when he was starting out in music. He explains in his book that’s how he is with his golf game, too.
And that’s how YOU can be in your life.
Live Life–Lite!
